    why doesn’t he do a film about out-of-control government spending and big brother…at least then he would be intellectually honest…i’m not saying there weren’t excesses on wall street…there were….but now we have swung way too far in the other direction…

  • Matt

    In response to Bob’s comment – we haven’t swung at all. Excesses on Wall Street have led to government excess. They are one and the same.
    Because of greedy, selfish WS execs, the government, who are composed of ex-Wall Street execs, capitulated 800 billion dollars of the national treasury to Wall Street. This is an excess of Wall Street and giant corporations. Until the power is taken away from the corporations and given back to the people (not the government, the people), then we are all economic slaves to the power elite.
    Don’t fool yourself into believing that the government and big business are not the same entity. They are one and the same.
    Oh, and let’s not forget about the hundreds of billions of dollars in profits reaped by the war machine (big business) in cahoots with the government over the past 8 years.
    Also, there is nothing intellectually dishonest about what Mr. Moore is doing. It’s based in truth.

  • Marie

    don’t worry Matt, bob may not be able to understand, but i agree with you 100%.
    the sad part is that until the rest of society realizes this, i fear that nothing will change.

  • TJ

    Can we stop calling Michael Moore’s films “documentaries”…because all he does is present the story that he wants to tell without consideration for factual evidence that contradicts his skewed opinion. It’s like a newspaper columnist say that they’re a reporter.

  • John

    So the movie is going to be free since capitalism is so evil? If he wants to focus his ire toward the banks then fine but lets not just say its all due to “Captialism”. Maybe he should call it “Greed”: A Love Story then he could focus on crooks big and small. A convience store or gas station can be impacted by the deeds of a small-time hood as much as a the idiot banks.

  • R.J. MacReady

    Excellent point, John!

  • chuck

    Why does everyone hate Michael Moore? He is a great filmmaker!!!

  • Carlos

    What an idiot Moore is. “Corporate greed” has resulted in the creation of cameras and computers to make his films. And if it weren’t for “corporate greed,” there wouldn’t be a mass distribution system for viewing his “documentaries” and other films. In other words, corporate greed has made it possible for Moore to make a very good living and engage is his craft. Or is Moore taking a different approach and showing this movie on a white sheet in a vacant lots across the country?

  • sc341

    Michael Moore’s movies suck. They are not real documentaries. Also if capitalism is so bad he should post his crap movie on youtube to be viewed at no charge.

  • Frank

    Marie,
    Believe it or not, people like Bob and I are capable of understanding your point of view… we just don’t believe that the unfettered expansion of the the role of the federal government in our lives is the best possible solution to our problems. All of the bailouts, new taxes and attempts to nationalize important industries all come at the expense of our liberty, the essential ingredient for the maintanence of our civil society. Again, if you feel that the government if full of greedy, self-centered Wall Street executives, why then are you so willing to consolidate more power in the hands of the federal government?

  • Marie

    never said you weren’t capable, just said that right now you’re not understanding what Matt was trying to stay. read slowly next time (that you can quote me on as saying).
    big business is destroying this country. they say they don’t want to be regulated, and yet their greed from being unmonitored has ruined the financial strength of the country. i don’t see many of these companies saying that they won’t take the money. so before you blame the government, these companies gladly TOOK the money after BEGGING for it.
    And i’m not stupid enough to let the talk about “socialism” scare me. No one seems to complain about police and fire protection, no one complains about getting books from the local library when they can’t afford one, and when you turn 65, i’m sure you’ll be signin up for social security if its still around. it all needs tax money and none of that is capitalism.
    until the big business and its lobbyist are regulated so they can stop stealing from us, we are in trouble.

    To fully understand the Fed ~ you must review its dark history of greed and manipulation which begins with the Rothschild’s.
    1791-1811: Rothschild’s First Bank of the United States.
    1816-1836: Rothschild’s Second Bank of the United States.
    1837-1862: Free Banking Era – no formal Central Bank through the efforts of President Andrew Jackson, who , according to Jackson, the Rothschild’s later tried to assassinate.
    Cont THE FEDERAL RESERVE
    1862-1913: System of National Banks through the efforts of President Andrew Jackson.
    In 1862 Abraham Lincoln issued his own fiat money to finance the Civil War and bucked the New York Banks who wanted to charge the government 24- 30% interest on any loans. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865.
    President James Garfield tried to buck the banks and was assassinated on July 2, 1881.

    THE FEDERAL RESERVE HISTORY OF GREED.
    1913-Current: President Wilson Federal Reserve Act creates a consortium of privately held Jewish & associated banks called the Federal Reserve Bank. The largest shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank are the Rothschild’s of London holding 57% of the stock which is not available for public trading.
    On May 23 1933, Congressman Louis T. McFadden brought impeachment charges against the members of the Federal Reserve Bank. A smear campaign against McFadden ensued and he was poisoned 3 years later.
    On June 4th 1963, John F Kennedy signed Executive Order 1110 which returned to the U.S. Government the power to issue currency without going through the Federal reserve. With the stroke of his pen, President Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York out of business ~ for that order gave the U.S. the ability to create its own money backed by silver. Five months later on November 22, 1963 Kennedy was assassinated.

    Michael Moore simply expoits people. He doesn’t stand up for anything. He looks for the best way to make a buck. If he wanted to help these people, he would have actually done a documentary to EXPOSE problems. Instead he simply does what he always does, exploit victims.
